Both the father's and the boy's identities are being withheld by the media.

Apparently, the kid didn’t like performing the household chore. Because the boy then turns up at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. He goes through the TSA security checkpoint without a hitch – and without a ticket. Turns out, tykes don’t need to produce ID.

But the topper is the boy makes it onto a Delta flight bound for Las Vegas. No ticket, no problem. He apparently slipped through the gate while a ticketing agent was “distracted.”

It has made for a mini-sensation in the Twin Cities. But at the heart of it all could be a little boy who's just a handful for his parents.

Turns out the boy is no stranger to child protection investigators there, who say he has a history of sneaking into a water park and was recently arrested after allegedly stealing a car, according the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

In another twist, his mother works at the airport where he began his journey, the newspaper said.

All in all, the boy is described as a “challenging” child. And this time the challenge was boarding an airplane without a ticket -- and the kid pulled it off.

So what do you think? What should the boy's punishment be for this stunt? Clearly, making him take out the trash doesn’t work.

Lay out your disciplinary recommendations for the stowaway kid in the comments.
